INFORMATION / TALKING POINTS

In what appears to be an attempt to try to get around Don’t Expand UW
Primate Testing’s lawsuit against the University of Washington Board of
Regents for a secret decision to approve a new Animal Research and Care
Facility, the Regents’ agenda for their Regular Meeting this week includes:
“Approve Construction of the ARCF Project at the Preferred Site Underneath
Portage Bay Vista.”

Leading up to the Regents’ last vote on the animal lab, people called and
emailed them at the Regent phone number and email address. But since that
time, we have learned that the Regents did not get those messages. Rather
than take the time to learn about people’s concerns about the lab, the
Regents let their office just pass the messages over to the UW’s animal
research department to send their biased replies to people.

So leading up to the Regents’ vote on the new lab this week, we’re going
to make sure that they hear from the concerned public.

Please call and email
them at their direct phone numbers and email addresses to tell them that
they need to do their jobs and actually learn about all the reasons to NOT
approve construction of a new animal research facility, and ask them to vote
NO on building the new facility.
